Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell make up

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell have decided to bury the hatchet once and for all following nine months of bad mouthing each other.

The 26-year-old Irish hunk appeared to confirm he's the father of the brunette beauty's baby - something he'd denied for the majority of her pregnancy - over the weekend on Twitter and it seems their little bundle of joy have brought them closer together as they've both decided to re-follow one another on social media sites.

The 23-year-old actress fell in love with the heavily-inked heartthrob on 'Celebrity Big Brother' last year, but after months of breaking up and making up over allegations he'd cheated on her, they decided to call time on their romance in April.

Although he was adamant he wasn't the father of Stephanie's four-week-old son Caben-Albi until he was born at the beginning of January, Jeremy has admitted he's the "happiest man alive" after discovering the little one biologically belongs to him.

Alongside a photograph of the tiny tot, Jeremy said: "I'll love this monkey with every bit of me... Happiest man alive , my new focus. (sic)"

And the dark-haired model - who currently resides in Dublin, Ireland - is also willing to fly to Liverpool, where Stephanie is based, "every weekend" because he wants to make sure that he has a strong relationship with the little one.

The pair locked horns over Jeremy's decision to have a paternity test done live on television last week after Stephanie reportedly demanded he sign an "unreasonable" legal document before she'd have the DNA test done.

Speaking at the time, he said: "It's time to put our differences aside and do the right thing. It's plain and simple.

"This could be dealt with privately from the start but we can't change the past."
